Persona: Presenting Authentic, Necessary, and Constructed Selves

Persona: Presenting Authentic, Necessary, and Constructed Selves

21 September–27 October 2018

Bronx River Art Center presents Persona: Presenting Authentic, Necessary, and Constructed Selves, on view through Saturday, October 27, 2018. San Francisco-based curator Betti-Sue Hertz, a former executive director of BRAC, is the guest curator.

Persona considers how the confluence of social culture, digital imaging, and political insecurity is contributing to the fluidity of identity and generating new strategies for managing public personas. The exhibition explores intersections of cultural, racial, and ethnic formation as foundations for negotiating identity in material and virtual realities.
